Edited 10/23/07 - putting in romance VBB.
It sounded simple. Go to Savannah. Finish directing an action-adventure film. Earn some quick money. Get a chance to see sister Daisy and niece Pepper. Instead, as soon as Lucy Armstrong arrives on the set of Don't Look Down, she discovers that nothing about her current job is simple. The cast is lackluster. What she has seen of the script is, even by Hollywood standards, unbelievably incoherent. The stunt coordinator is none other than her annoying ex-husband, Connor Nash, and her sister seems to have become a zombie. Bryce McKay, the movie's leading man, turns up with Captain J. T. Wilder, whom Bryce has personally hired to be his stunt double and military consultant. The last thing Lucy needs is a taciturn, too-sexy-for-his-own-good male like J. T. on her set, but once the going gets tough, someone like J. T. turns out to be exactly the kind of person Lucy decides she wants in her life. This first collaboration between best-selling romance writer Crusie and adventure-thriller writer Mayer is a rare delight. Mayer's delectably dry sense of humor perfectly complements Crusie's brand of sharp wit, and together the two have cooked up a sexy, sassy, and smart combination of romance and suspense that is simply irresistible.

This arrived in the mail today, thanks so much! Part of the bookobsessed VBB. I'm reading another Crusie at the moment, it will be interesting to see how she does co-authoring. Hope the book I sent arrives as swiftly!

This was another fun read, although it took me a little time to get into it. It was far more action-packed than the other Crusies I'd read - is that the influence of Bob Mayer, or just fluke? A CIA agent / Green Beret as romantic love interest is a bit new for me, but whatever. Enjoyable read, thanks for having sent it on, terrafreaky.

Received safely - thank you. Off to Mount TBR for now...
Another fun read from Crusie - agree with Penelopewanders that it took me a little while to get into, but then it was full of action.
This has been selected fro the Romance VBB again, so will be on its way to a new home soon.
